Project Zomboid

Project Zomboid is an upcoming survival video game developed by British and Canadian independent developer The Indie Stone. The game is set in 1993 in the post-apocalyptic, zombie-infested exclusion zone of the fictional Knox Country (formerly Knox County), Kentucky, in the United States. The player is challenged to survive for as long as possible before inevitably dying. In 2011, two laptops containing the game's code were stolen from the developers, resulting in delays to the game's development. Project Zomboid was released in early access in December 2013 and has since continued development. It is The Indie Stone's first commercially released game and was one of the first five games released on the alpha funding section of the digital distribution platform Desura. The latest stable release is Build 42, which released in July 2026 and introduced changes including animals, an overhauled crafting system, and map updates.
